For her international comparison research, Sarah received the Jack Tu Student Prize – Honourable Mention. The initial results from this research indicate that residents living favourable active living environments (or more ‘walkable’ neighbourhoods) in both Wales and Canada experience lower ‘ever’ hospitialization rates.

Congratulations, Sarah! This fantastic achievement would not have been possible without the support of our partners Dr. Richard Fry, Mr. Ashley Akbari, and Ms. Amy Mizen at Swansea University in Wales. Thank you all for the opportunity to collaborate and we look forward to more research from this initiative!
